“On environmental issues, he is equally provocative, calling climate change “a socialist hoax”, and saying that a company should be able to pollute a river as it sees fit.”

It’s amazing how much damage can be done in a short amount of time when people like this get in charge. This isn’t even getting into the fact that he wants to end investments in research, when investments in US research generate 2.6x in economic output. I’m guessing it’s not too different in Argentina, but guys like this have no interest in facts.

Cannibal: The Musical.

It’s a reeeally early Trey Parker and Matt Stone creation. A live action comedy musical movie about the Donner party. Definitely a classic.

That special is an absolute masterpiece

Vaati also did a recent demo and summary of his gameplay: https://youtu.be/1c1crLkr56E?si=FYt5M0Kus8G_kGwa

And yeah, it looks pretty sick

Iron Sky!!

Who doesn’t love a movie about Nazis hiding for 60 years in a secret base on the dark side of the moon?!?!

Definitely try Hellblade. And definitely play with headphones.

John Oliver has a segment on carbon offsets and, yeah, they sound like typical cash grabs under the guise of “green” Vid: https://youtu.be/6p8zAbFKpW0

Follow up question - if I created my account on an instance, and that instance is a bad actor and disappears (not just defederated, but shuts down), wouldn’t I lose my account and all the content associated with it? Posts, replies, saved stuff, etc? That is my understanding based on another thread.

Assuming so, doesn’t that incentivise people to create their accounts on a large instance like lemmy.world? Let’s be real that 99.99% of people are not going to host their own instance to create their account.

I appreciate the philosophy, resilience, resistance to censorship, and individual control that both types of decentralization provide.

Crypto has many scams only because it is intended to be traded or used as currency. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a few others have held their value over time because of the network effect: more people use it to transact, so it maintains it’s worth as a means of transaction. All those shit coins and alt coins were absolute scams because there was no way to use them (you can use Bitcoin to actually buy products and services).

Decentralized platforms that promote beans are also cool, but their currency is lulz. There’s not much value for that outside the platform.
